For MajorMapleLeaf's Carrier-based Aircraft Challenge

Consider this my 10k Special, thanks for 10k!!

From Wikipedia
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are a series of American supersonic twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft derived from the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The Super Hornet is in service with the armed forces of the United States, Australia, and Kuwait. The F/A-18E single-seat and F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced versions of the F/A-18C and D Hornet, respectively. Read More...

    no Xbox
    baby would destroy it
    also
    they did
    A lot of Chinese aircraft are no longer russian reskins
    J-10(C variant is literally Rafale but better)
    J-20(I have no idea what you're on about when you say it's an amalgamation including the Felon against the name of Stealth, it takes fartall from the Su-57, more so American aircraft)
    J-35 (It's an American reskin so I get a point)
    J-36, 50, and all their 5+gens (not saying 6th) (The most original design by far, might have US tech, but design is original)
    I also have a lpt to say about China, with the worst of the capitalism worst from the socialism
    but it balances power in the planet

    @TheRLAF My problem with the Chinese is that they rebrand some Russian shii grab a diesel carrier and start yammering on about how they own the S. Pacific. I don't mean to sound political here but I firmly believe China needs to be put in their place

    Wasn't it like built with scraps of the IAI Lavi (the J-10 is still like one of the best sub 5th gens ever lowk, also J-36 is pretty original design wise, also the PRC only locked in back in like 2000)
    Aw shucks

    contrary to belief, the block iii doesnt actually carry the CFTs. the block iii in the boeing video was only a tech demonstrator for the actual block iii. they didnt keep the CFTs because it was found that it was leaking fuel during testing. i got this wrong in my block iii build lol.
